Klobouky u Brna Castle is a historic château located in the center of Klobouky u Brna in South Moravia.

It was originally built in 1589 as a Renaissance residence for the Premonstratensian monastery of Zábrdovice and was later enlarged and remodeled in the Baroque style during the 18th century. After the monastery was dissolved in 1784, the estate passed through several owners, who added Classical-style features and adapted the building for administrative and residential use.

The château is also associated with Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, who visited and stayed there on several occasions. Today, the château is a protected cultural monument and serves as a civic center, housing the town hall, museum, library, and other community facilities. Its blend of Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical architecture makes it one of the town’s most important historical landmarks.
